which is a magical substance that activates the magical qualities of the
figure. A peg with a hole through it beneath the feet was used to attach

in ceremonies. The wood is of medium density and has a deep and shiny,
almost black patina. The figure is carved in a cubistic style with strong
legs and feet. The arms are carved in relief and have an eloquent curve
to them that makes a striking visual counterpoint with the carved necklace
of the figure. |
